C4 is going to do awful numbers at this rate.

Nah, he won't have awful numbers. Hes gunna do at least 300K regardless imo. But that isn't a 'Lil Wayne number'. Hes gunna do better than 90% of major rap releases this year, and will have one of the highest first week sales. But 300K-500K first week is the real legitimate estimate. Unless he drops a single that BLOWS up RIGHT AWAY all over the radio, music video count downs, and gets a good response all of the internet... he won't push over that.



And lol @ people comparing tours to album sales. You also have to remember... the tour just isn't Wayne. Sure people would like to see him. But you gotta think of the portion of the people that are buying for the fact Ross is there, that Nicki is there, and the whole tour set is all performing etc. Its gunna be funny when he doesn't sell to peoples estimates.

Of course, I agree with that, he'll do okay numbers but his potential to do bigger numbers is just around the corner and it seems YMCMB haven't done anything to do that. Sure they're touring but that's not enough alone to do this. While John and 6'7' are okay they're hardly the best singles and I know Wayne has never had great singles but you'd think they would've done something more to promote the album since it's coming out in a month today.

[datshyt]

Ehh don't really care about numbers too much, it is what it is...I just hope the album is dope...and I'm curious about this crazy feature Develop is talking about....

Yeah haha. I know what you're saying. Just trying to add to the discussion. But so many people don't buy albums these days. And barely any of the people I know who like Lil Wayne, know that C4 is coming May 16th rofl.

Lmao...typical YMCMB management...same here tbh half the people I know don't even know about C4 in England. They're hardly hardcore Wayne fans but they like his music still.

[srikarr12]

Imo YMCMB are just testing the waters with John.

6'7 was always a hyped banger fail or not.

They will keep dragging out the release date until they feel that they have the attention of their max market audience.

This is prob gonna be through singles, mixtapes etc.

[YeezyYM]

C3 couldn't have better singles. They were perfect.

This minus England (I live in Virginia). I think at LEAST 91% of my school loves Weezy (not all hardcore fans but they like him), and I have not once heard anyone even mention Tha Carter IV.

But everyone's heard Hustle Harrd (Remix) so they heard what he said about TCIV. Plenty of people went to the Hampton concert. Everyone heard 6'7' too and a lot of people heard John. So maybe they know about it but aren't talking about it?

Idk but that's just one state outta 50
